India-Nepal Relation Is As Ancient As The Himalayas Says PM Modi In Nepal
On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Nepal and met with Nepal Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. While addressing a gathering in Lumbini, PM Modi said: “I had said in Janakpur that ‘without Nepal, our Lord Ram is also incomplete. I am aware that people of Nepal are feeling equally happy as an elegant temple for Lord Shri Ram is being built in India,” “Visiting Nepal is not a political matter for me, It gives me a spiritual experience,” added PM Modi. After the Indian leader visited Nepal, he first offered prayers at the Mahadevi Temple. He then performed the ‘shilanyas’ ceremony along with the Nepalese PM to launch the construction of the India International Centre for Buddhist Culture and Heritage in the Lumbini Monastic Zone. Both the leaders had a round of bilateral talks and signed five agreements, including the implementation of the 490.2 megawatts Arun-4 hydropower project. Prime Minister Modi also assured the Nepalese PM Sher Bahadur Deuba of India’s continued support for the developmental and energy projects in Nepal.
